I'm Imagining Afterglow Luke And Omg He's So Sweet And Beautiful 🥺

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

Absolutely dogshit article on the fucking awful new york times today, just disgusting tone throughout basically implying no contact with your abusive family is a social media trend, and often done by frivolous reasons

Instead of the horrible but LIFE SAVING choice a lot of us are basically forced into

It makes me fucking sick that they thought it was okay to speak to "estranged parent's organisations" - would you seek out the POV of other types of abusers too? Think they're gonna do anything but justify their abuse and lie?

It's over before it begins.

You're so used to being unloved that you don't know how to be loved. You don't know what it means when he says I love you, his eyes containing galaxies and his pupils contracting. He's the universe and magic and still human, blood running to his cheeks.

You were leaving, and yet you can't break off from the universe, so you cannot really ever leave. The colour of his cheeks is the sun, and you're a planet rotating him.

His hand – human, part machine, all him – reaches to yours.

I am choosing to love you.

It was over before it even begun. His ocean eyes were your home and you drowned and woke up simultaneously.

There are so many tiny details and differences! It’s adorable!

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band

Adding my own favorite fictional men to the tags

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

wheelchairs and canes and glasses and hearing aids and every single other mobility aid should be free btw and if you disagree i hate you

Did anyone else think the description was gonna be about DinLuke because of the picture? Because that picture to me looks like a DinLuke fan edit.

THEY’RE GETTING A FUCKING MOVIE🗣️🗣️🗣️

As my ex would say, especially Luke Skywalker

Every writer has two sides:

"I love my characters, they are my children and will protect them with my life"

"I wanna make them suffer so fucking much"

I have both adhd and autism and I have never found a better metaphor than this as of yet.

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
